Included in the tariff are hot 1 coffee and “all the doughnuts you . can lift.” ' Never has there been a cause that is such a ‘natural’ as the Howard Jones field house,” Guy Claire, Knignt president said. “It has tremendous appeal, it fulfills a great need, and it pays a fitting tribute to one of Troy's greatest leaders.” FUTURE STADIUM The field house, to be located on campus at 35th and McClintock, will provide facilities for staging Trojan basketball games “at home” with a seating capacity of many thousands. The additional space made available for athletic practicc will alleviate the conflict that exists between the Trojan squads and the P.E. classes and will supply complete training quarters plus a medical center for athletes. The NROTC unit, long in want of an adequate armory, will have sufficient accomodations for its headquarters. The fleld house will include a trophy room in which the many awards won in athletics, education, and other activities can be permanently displayed. Available for extra-curricular student activities, the fieldhouse will allow bigger and better Trojan hops to be held. They were previously confined to the student lounge.

Hunter, director of intercollegiate athletics. by Lloyd Hearn Opposing the election of Dusty Rhode as president of the College of Commerce on : the basis that he was unconstitutionally elected, but not denying that ISA had approached Rhode, two prominent members of the independent organization stated their views on the commerce presidential mixup yesterday. Dick Gilson, executive board member of ISA declared the election of Rhode by the council of the College of Commerce illegal, and said that he had originally challenged Rhode's assumption of office in the ASSC senate because “the ASSC constitution requires that all college officers be elected by the college student body.” Personal implications in the matter were denied by Garry Res-< Continued on Page 2) Commerce Snag Traced by Dean Failure of the electorate to present a full slate of officers in last spring’s election was listed yesterday as the source or thc muddle now existing in the College of Commerce by Dean Reid Lage McClung. C aused by thc graduation of Boh Harbison. president during the fall semester, and the resignation of Dusty Rhode, who assumed the position on a vote of the collegc council, the present situation leaves commerce without representation on the ASSC senate “If thc college student body is not satisfied with the election of Rhode and Henning, there should be a general election held.” Dean McClung said. Poll on Rhode Groups Attack Ex-Presidents Cry of Politics by Jerry Maher Out of the welter of confusion surrounding the resignation of Dusty' Rhode as president of the College of Commerce, there appears today both support and general censure of Rhode’s allegations that attempts were made to prove fraud in his election and that “pressure groups’’ were interfering with the functioning of his council. Milt Dobkin, chairman of th® ASSC senate ntles committee, whose job it was to pass on Rhode’s ; election, branded as a “bald lie” the statement that he or anvone representing him had asked Rhode Leger to Discuss Cultures of China On Resignation “For twenty-five years the Chinese have been discussing the good and bad parts of eastern and western culture with a view toward adopting whatever is good and discarding whatever is inferior, regardless of its origin,’* continued Dr. Leger. KNOWLEDGE “In China today, large elements of western culture are consciously included in education from the primary' schools to the universities. Throughout the educational system, hundreds of thousands of young Chinese are thus preparing of eastern culture and the western I to help bridge the gulf between The opportunity for China to take a leading part in forming a world peace by successfully combining the best elements of the factions now at war in that country, is to be discussed by Dr. Samuel H. Leger, at the third meeting of the philosophy forum, at 4:15 today in Bowne hall. Speaking on the general topic, “Contributions of Chinese Culture to World Community,” Dr. Leger will tell of China's gifts to world culture in the past and her even greater opportunity for contributions by serving as the melting pot Marxist and capitalist theories. CULTURE PATTERNS “The entire life of the Chinese people and its political, economic, social, and educational aspects, is offered a choice of different culture patterns today,” said Dr. Leger. “So far, China has been inclined to choose some elements from each, often making new patterns by unexpected combinations,” he added. east and west and take an active part in creating world community,” stated Dr. Leger. “American education is still largely limited to knowledge about the western world,” said Dr. Legec “This is well enough in physical and biological sciences, but totally inadequate for dealing with the humanities and the social scienoes,” he said. what made him think he was pres-ident of the college.

I wouldn't object to it,” Mitchell declared. MITCHELL OPINION “There should be definite provisions that the three^highest executive officers should ’ be elected by the student body of the college.” Mitchell said. “It is assumed that all college constitutions must be in accordance with the ASSC constitution.” Briefly, the ASSC constitution provides that the student body cf each college shall elect its off?cere. This requirement was fulfilled when Bob Harbison was elected to the presidency last spring, and when Harbison was graduated in January, it wus the basis for the objection to Rhode’s election by the commerce council voiced by Dick Gilson, independent representative, before the senate Feb. 19. DOBKIN SPEAKS In a prepared statement, DoMoe disavowed any implication thee (Continued on Pa#* ii Obtaining the views of College of Commerce majors on the problem which exploded in the face of ASSC politics yesterday with the resignation of Commerce President Dusty Rhode amid accusations and counter-accusations of corruption within the Commerce council, the Daily Trojan yesterday conducted a poll, revealing the fact that few students in the college felt they had been informed of more than generalities concerning, th# political scene. “Even the accusations themselves, both for and against the college are all generalities,” commented John Hall, commerce senior, in reemphasizing the fact that the cam paign was more a matter of name-calling than the actual presentation of facts. Summing up another controversy set forth by commerce students, John Case, sophomore, stated, “I believe Rhode must have had the right to the presidency contrary to some accusations against him. If there was a question as to the legality ot his election by the council it should have been brought up ' immediately by the accusing groups, instead of waiting around for four weeks before making an issue of (Continued on Page Four) Palestine Policy Called Futile TROpi Lmon Croups Unite Pay Respects her 25 years of loyal service advancement of the Unl-y of Southern California, to the memory of Mrs. B. ron KleinSmid, late wife chancellor, are to be paid it organisations, faculty and alumni at a Town Gown meeting in Hancock torlum tomorrow at * pjn.

Croup Limits Memberships Early application for membership in Troy’s second workshop in international education is deemed necessary because the workshop is limited to 40 students.

Hadley, instructor in international relations. “Martial law will not bring peace to Palestine,” declared Dr. Hindman. “Relationship between interests represented by the Arab league, the Jewish agency, and the British government has gone beyond the basis of calm discussion. There has been so much violence that none of the parties can view the problem objectively. The United Nations may serve as a mediation agency, which is what is needed.” MARTIAL LAW NIL “I think that the imposition of martial law will only serve to aggravate the situation.” said Mr. Hadley, “and as long as the British remain in the picture the situation will be dominated by British relations with, and British-American investments in. countries of the Arab league. The matter is further complicated by the obvious willing- i ness of the Soviet Union to serve as protector’ of small nations.” “I am not sure that the United a spirit of whimsy, and whUe I do i_)i\.

The British need to retain the oil of the Middle East and at the same time retain Arab policy of immigration restriction was counter to the terms of the mandate and was not approved. In 1939 the White Paper was okayed by the Conservative government then in power and was denounced by the Labor party. However, the Labor government did not change i the policy of 1939 when it came i to power. COMMITTEE SET UP In the spring of last year a joint Anglo-American commission was set , up and it was assured by Foreign ! Minister Bevin that if a unanimous agreement could be reached it would be followed by the British govern-I ment. The committee made the rec-i ommendation that 100.000 Jews be admitted into Palestine. It was this committee, and not President Truman, that made the suggestion. -Instead of putting the recommendations of the committee into effect.” continued Dr. Hindman, “the British government has had Corps Begins Training Plan For Noncoms The USMC. through IA.

Hadley, instructor in international relations. “Martial law will not bring peace to Palestine,” declared Dr. Hindman. “Relationship between interests represented by the Arab league, the Jewish agency, and the British government has gone beyond the basis of calm discussion. There has been so much violence that none of the parties can view the problem objectively. The United Nations may serve as a mediation agency, which is what is needed.” MARTIAL LAW NIL “I think that the imposition of martial law will only serve to aggravate the situation.” said Mr. Hadley, “and as long as the British remain in the picture the situation will be dominated by British relations with, and British-American investments in. countries of the Arab league. The matter is further complicated by the obvious willing- i ness of the Soviet Union to serve as protector’ of small nations.” “I am not sure that the United a spirit of whimsy, and whUe I do i_)i\.

Minister Bevin that if a unanimous agreement could be reached it would be followed by the British govern-I ment. The committee made the rec-i ommendation that 100.000 Jews be admitted into Palestine. It was this committee, and not President Truman, that made the suggestion. -Instead of putting the recommendations of the committee into effect.” continued Dr. Hindman, “the British government has had Corps Begins Training Plan For Noncoms The USMC. through IA.
